Mini Nude Lipstick Haul

Recently I've been obsessed with nude lips and lipsticks. I think it's because I've been watching too much of the Kardashians and loving Kylie's lip colours, especially the nudes from her own band, which I unfortunately don't have. I have a wide range of darker and more red and berry toned lipsticks and less of the nudes and pinks so I thought I should start collecting some as they're all I look at when I'm looking through the aisles of make up brands. I've picked up three lipsticks over the past month that I've been absolutely loving.

   

NYX High Voltage Lipstick in Stone

This is my most recent purchase and it's so hard to find NYX in all drug stores. Luckily there's a chemist near my Uni that sells them, even though there's a small range it's better than nothing. I originally went in browsing for the NYX Lingerie range but they had none so I began swatching other lipsticks instead. Stone is a really light nude brown that just darkens and enhances the natural lips when applied. I love the subtlety of it and how nude it is. The packaging is so cute as the tube is skinnier than most other lipsticks and it's so much handier to carry around in your bag, plus the application is super easy. 

Essence XXXL Longlasting Lipgloss in Soft Nude 

Technically this is a lipgloss but I'd consider it a lipstick. I love Essence for their good quality and affordable makeup. Since liquid lipsticks and matte lips have become a trend I've been obsessed with finding a good matte liquid lipstick. I picked this one up and fell in love with the colour and the application. The applicator is easy to use and the formula doesn't leave your lips feeling dry even though it's a matte lip product. Although it does take a while to dry completely it feels completely weightless on the lips which I love. 

Maybelline Colorsensational Lipstick in Velvet Beige

The last lipstick of the post is probably my favourite, it's like a mixture of the two above lipsticks. It's a dark nude pink with a tinge of brown and I love the colour. It's a colour that goes with everything and suits every make up look. The packaging lid comes in the colour of the lipstick which is very aesthetically pleasing. I don't think this lipstick is meant to be a matte but it drys almost like a matte lip which I love and it applies so well and doesn't leave my lips sticky or dried out. Definitely one of my top lipsticks and I think it's very similar to MAC's Brave lipstick.
